Description

Download any folder from GitHub repositories - not just the entire repo! GitHub Tree Downloader lets you download specific folders, subfolders, or individual files from any GitHub repository without cloning the entire project. Perfect for developers who need just a portion of a large codebase. ✅ Selective Downloads Download any folder or subfolder from GitHub repositories - works on branches, commits, and tags ✅ Smart Exclusion Patterns - Skip unnecessary files and folders with powerful pattern matching: - Exclude common bloat folders: node_modules, vendor, .git - Filter by file type: *.log, *.tmp - Path-specific exclusions: /vendor (root only) vs vendor (anywhere) - Your patterns are saved automatically for reuse ✅ Real-Time Progress Tracking Watch your download progress with live updates showing files processed and download status ✅ Privacy-First Design - Works entirely in your browser - No data collection or tracking - No external servers - Open source and transparent How to Use 1. Navigate to any GitHub repository 2. Browse to the specific folder you want to download 3. Click the extension icon 4. (Optional) Add exclusion patterns to skip unwanted files Click "Download ZIP" 5. Your custom ZIP file downloads automatically! Perfect For: - Developers exploring large monorepos - Grabbing example code or documentation - Downloading specific components or modules - Avoiding massive clones when you only need one folder - Learning from open source projects efficiently Example Use Cases - Download just the /src folder from a React project - Grab documentation files without the entire codebase - Extract a single component library from a monorepo - Get test files without downloading dependencies - Download examples or demos from large repositories
